Glenda Edwards receives Clarence Earl Gideon Award By Cara Lane Cape Louisville, KY - Glenda Edwards, who began her career in Columbia's DPA Field Office, has been honored with the Clarence Earl Gideon Award, for Extraordinary Commitment to Equal Justice and Courageous Advancement of the Right to Counsel by the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy. On June 11, 2019, public defenders and many special guests from around the Commonwealth gathered at the Crowne Ballroom in Louisville, Kentucky for the 47th Annual Public Defender Conference Recognition Luncheon, to celebrate defenders for exceptional service to the criminal justice system. Of the ceremony, Public Advocate Damon Preston said, "This is our biggest event of the year. We get to celebrate the good work of many of our employees and do it in front of our guests who honor us with their attendance." Glenda Edwards is a 1998 graduate of the University of Louisville, Brandeis School of Law and 1995 graduate of Campbellsville University. She began her career with DPA in 1999 in the newly formed Columbia Field Office, where she worked as a staff attorney representing juvenile and adult indigent defendants In 2003, she became the Directing Attorney of the Columbia Office. She was named Central Regional Manager in January of 2010. As such, she supervised six offices--Columbia, Glasgow, Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, Shepherdsville, and Owensboro. In 2011, Glenda was named Trial Division Director and a member of DPA's leadership team. In the announcement for the award, the Department of Public Advocacy says: "Despite the enormous challenges of that position, Glenda eventually became DPA's longest-serving Trial Division Director until she stepped down to return to the Columbia Office last month. Glenda's tenure as Trial Division Director was marked by the opening of new offices, stability in the division, and the development of the next generation of DPA leaders."
